i'm not debating bill weld, i've got all the respect in the world for bill weld. bill knows and understands what the problem is in the problem is an unfit president in the white house who took a divided country and is dividing it further. >> that's the time we got to bring the country together. >> governor. >> thanks to business insider and analysts, moderators fisher and lopez. it's a great thing you're doing. my name is bill weld, i'm running for president as a republican so what you need to know about me as i'm running for president? i think all you need to know is i'm a very relaxed, called person and like the congressman i'm comfortable in my own skin unlike certain other people. and you know, i'm not scared of anybody. i was head of the criminal division of the justice department but more to the point i don't thinkanyone else should be scared of anybody . i'm a great believer in releasing the energies of everybody in the policy and giving them all a stake in the enterprise of our shared product institutions. the congressman said it's no secret the president

i have all the respect for my friend bill weld. i don't want president trump hung for treason. >> we will talk about hanging some other time. we will move onto the next question. >> to everyone who has read or watched business insider report, it is no secret i am highly critical of the president. you guys are republicans and he is the head of your party. he has delivered on republican things like taxes. are you not concerned that running against the president could hand the white house to, say, elizabeth warren? >> as governor, i never met a tax cut i didn't like. i cut them 20 times, and never raise them. i feel that they could have been more equitable, but this is not a fiscal conservative. he has get along with trillion dollar deficits every year. i was ranked the most fiscally conservative governor in the u.s. and i was governor of mass -- massachusetts. doing.ok some we can't sit still for this guy, a disgrace to the office, almost deed day, he commits some or says something that makes it he isbeyond any doubt unfit for the of

third republican to challenge trump for the 2020 nomination, joining former massachusetts governor bill weld and former illinois congressmember joe walsh. sanford however will be able to run in a primary in his own state since the south carolinana republican party voted to skip the presidential primary next year to save money and throw the state's support behind the trump campaign. president trump is set to appoint another judge to the 11th circuit court of appeals. one of the court's judges said last week he will take senior status, meaning trump can appoint a new judge to succeed him. last month, another judge also announced he will also become a senior judge. in total, trump will have appointed five of the 12 judges on the court, which covers alabama, georgia, and florida, and hears many civil rights cases, as well as death penalty and voting rights cases. since trtrump came into office,e has appointed nearly one out of four of the nation's federal appeals court judges -- 70% of

bill weld, good to see you as always, sir. thank you for joining me. we've got much more on the breaking news ahead. when we come back we'll discuss if president trump finally crossed the rubicon with republicans. i'm going to ask rick wilson and jennifer rubin next. the mobile app makes it easy to manage your policy, even way out here. your marshmallow's... get digital id cards, emergency roadside service, even file a... whoa. whoa. whoa. whoa. whoa. whoa! oops, that cheeky little thing got away from me. my bad. geico. it's easy to manage your policy whenever, wherever. can i trouble you for another marshmallow? the way you triumph over adversity. and live your lives. that's why we redesigned humira. we wanted to make the experience better for you. now there's less pain immediately following injection. we've reduced the size of the needle and removed the citrate buffers. and it has the same effectiveness you know and trust. humira citrate-free is here. a little change can make a big difference. humira can lower your ability to fight infections. seriou

there are three of them now and that includes bill weld, former massachusetts governor. formula my congressman and mark sanford, former south corona governor. it doesn't seem with an approval rating of 80 plus percent in the republican party that these guys have much chance against the president. >> no, and they know that. i think that the goal of bill weld and walsh are to just try to get enough attention to sort of damage the president. this isn't a serious endeavor. mark sanford is really running a different playbook here were he wants to remake the republican party and have it return to its fiscal rectitude, which is completely lost so no one is listening to them about what a real republican should be buried he also indicated in the past few weeks that he would vote for the president over a democrat so i think is going to get less attention, which is the goal of bill weld and joe walsh essentially, to run out there like anthony scaramucci, getting a lot of tv interviews and i don't think it's going to work very well, but none of them believe that they are going to act

bill weld, good to see you as always, sir. thank you for joining me. we've got much more on the breaking news ahead. when we come back we'll discuss if president trump finally crossed the rubicon with republicans. i'm going to ask rick wilson and jennifer rubin next. rick wilsod jennifer rubin next. in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure for all common types of hep c. before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv-1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. don't take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems. common side eff

bill weld and joe walsh say it's an effort to rig the primaries in trump's favor.in gabby orr and rick tyler. rick, bill weld released this statement saying in part, quote, we don't elect presidents by acclimation in america. donald trump is doing his best to make the republican party his own personal club. republicans deserve better. what's your reaction? >> i agree with bill weld. look, part of what the white house is saying, part of it isn't true. there is a history of parties canceling primaries. that happened to pat buchanan when he challenged president bush in 1992 in iowa. they canceled their priority. primaries can be canceled if there's no legitimate candidate that qualified for the ballot. that's not what's going on here. the president is trying to keep anybody who would challenge him off the ballot by making it more difficult. ballot access in most states is controlled by the party. even if there's not a ballot, they can do other things. where i live in virginia, they can select whether they'll have a primary or a convention, depending on who they want a

former massachusetts governor bill weld joins us.ur plan from here when it comes to these primaries? >> i think they're scared of something. the amazing thing is they tried to cancel the new hampshire primary, first in the nation. you wouldn't do that unless you had a really good reason. what could our self-described stable genius in the oval office be scared of? i don't know. i'm not sure, but he did threaten to sue the university of pennsylvania if either his grades or his aptitude scores ever became public. >> as you know, all the polls show the vast majority of republicans support president trump. rnc officials claim taxpayers would be footing millions to pay for an unnecessary primary. >> they're going to spend that much in litigation anyway. we don't exactly cancel elections because we're afraid they might cost a few dollars. that's the essence of democracy. voting is the most important thing in terms of supporting our democracy that we ever do. >> you write, today the republican party has taken a wrong turn. in the trump era,

bill weld, thank you for joining us.. >> thank you, david. >>> in the next hour, a number of republican candidates will join us. joe walsh will be with us right here on "up". thanks very much to my panel. christopher dickey from paris. and hayes brown. we're going to preview the speech and hear from supporters and talk to a journalist who says the vice president's remarks on thursday are disqualifying. ualifying. ♪ ♪ ♪ applebee's handcrafted burgers now starting at $7.99 now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. that's ensure max protein, now starting at $7.99 with high protein and 1 gram sugar. it's a sit-up, banana! bend at the waist! i'm tryin'! keep it up. you'll get there. whoa-hoa-hoa! 30 grams of protein, and one gram of sugar. ensure max protein. woman: (on phone) discover. hi. do you have a travel card? yep. our miles card. earn unlimited 1.5 miles and we'll match it at the end of your first year. nice! i'm thinking about a scuba diving trip. woman: ooh!

bill weld is one of the candidates trying to defeat donald trump. he is an he mentions, independent voter. so am i. here is how it works in new hampshire. on a primary day, you go to your local voting station. for me, it is my town hall across from where i live in newfield. across the street, you go into the voting booth, and then you declare yourself either republican or democrat and then you can vote in the primary. once you cast your ballot, you go back and reregister as an independent. that is what is unique in many ways to new hampshire but it inows independents to vote either primary. bill weld has been here almost every week since early february, when he first started flirting with the idea of challenging the president. he officially launched his campaign in april. seen by just about every republican in the state. if you look at the polls and the republican primary, donald trump remains the overwhelming favorite and weld is the longest of long shots. it is going to be a herculean task for any republican, be it make anyif they try to dent agai

former governor of massachusetts bill weld is one of the republicans running against the president.thank you for being with us this morning. >> hey, victor and christi, a pleasure. >> thank you, gomvernor. you said cancelling the primaries is silencing president trump's opponents. are you talking about having conversations and meeting with any of the state leader to try to make some changes here and keep those primaries alive? >> no. i think they will make their own decisions and, technically, they can do so. i'm just having a hard time figuring out what the president and the republicans in washington are scared of, having other voices heard. he even tried to cancel the new hampshire primary which is the very famous first in the nation primary and it's the source of a lot of new hampshire's clout in this country is that they do have that primary and the company state committee, at the urging of washington and the national committee, said latet' cancel the primary and not have a primary in new hampshire. that felt like a lead balloon put that is the extreme case. beyond a certain poi

and in new hampshire which does have open primary, bill weld is at 16%.le, but the fact that he is there and working it -- >> you think is meaningful. >> is meaningful. and the president is so unstable right now. his behavior so bad. it may not open the door for bill weld, but it may open the door for someone should the president collapse. >> and that is my question. even if we are talking about the fact that these primary challengers may not have a chance to win, what is the effect? can they do real damage to the president? >> they can if the party isn't as divided as susan and others are saying, that they can continue to weave a narrative that may not excite other republicans to come out against him, but it may tamp down enough of their vote and with the democratic vote higher, it may do damage in the long run. but i was like where is the bernie sanders of the right. because even though he criticized democrats for rigging the system against him, which i don't agree with, i do agree with some of the changes that have been made to de mmocratize the proces

bill weld, republican, did accept our invitation. governor, thank you for being with us. >> thank you, ali, always a pleasure. >> you are the only republican here. two messages really, you're going to talk to a nation, but initially you may be talking to republicans who at the moment have the highest concentration of people who don't think this is as serious an issue as others do. >> let me say one thing about plans that are rolled out, democratic plans. the problem is they tend to measure input, how much money are we spending, a trillion here, a trillion there. what we should measure is outcomes. how are we going to get to the one outcome directed by the u.n. framework which is no more than 1.5 degrees sent grade increase in temperature over preindustrial levels by 2050. to do that, you have to put a price on carbon. it is an upstream price, it goes on at the well bore, at the mine shaft, at the loading dock. so it is borne by the emitters of carbon who are creating the problem in the first place. they can decide after that how much

bill weld, the former massachusetts governor. he's already running.rmer one-time congressman from illinois. he is already running, and now mark sanford, former governor of south carolina, former congressman defeated in a primary at trump's urging last year, he is now considering a run. the president could have three opponents in the republican primaries next year, but these primaries one by one it seems are being taken off the board by state republican parties. that's not all of them. of course new hampshire, the critical first in the nation state, that one is still going to have a primary. opportunity here for the republicans. but how much opportunity? because remember, when you talk about trump in a primary, trump as a general election proposition, he is clearly vulnerable. this is gallup, their most recent poll. they have national approval rating at 39%. that screams vulnerable in a general election. but gallup also tracks trump's approval rating among republicans, among the folks who are going to decide who the republican nominee is. that sits rig

are out of that some amazing so the question is what are the people middle thinking so what about bill weld and some of the other republicans who are challenging donald trump and want to have a primary system something that donald trump was in favor of in 2016 i don't think that joe walsh or bill weld are going anywhere. again united that wow to think fantastically well and if i won that beautiful note of her many thank you both so much for being here thank you and thank you for joining me on this edition of politicking and also thank you so much to larry king for letting me sit in this chair today remember we love hearing from you so join the conversation on larry's facebook page and as always you can share your thoughts on twitter by tweeting at king's things and using the politicking hash tag i also invite you to subscribe to my channel matthew cook dot com and that's all for this edition of politicking. aeroflot russian airlines. you know world of big partisan movies lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell

i will be voting for bill weld.t the other two candidates, i am not interested in at all and if it had not been a quality person like him, i don't think i would have done this. i don't know what i am going to do in the general election, but --ope every other state has eligible voters have the opportunity to do what i am doing. host: if bill weld makes it that far, why are you supporting him? what makes him a quality person in your terms? caller: i am familiar with him because he was from connecticut and he was the governor of massachusetts. in general, i do like his platform on a lot of different things. like i said, for right now, i support him because he is a quality candidate against president trump for the republican nomination. like i said, in the general election, i don't know who will be running and i don't know who i will vote for. as far as the republican primaries go or caucuses go, i hope every single eligible voter has an opportunity to participate in some sort of republican contest if they want to. host

up have a former republican governor bill weld, former republicans congressman joe walsh who challengednt. the parties in arizona and nevada, think about it, they are denying their constituents the right to vote to protect this president who haveis afraid. if there's anybody on the ballot against him, republicans more and more may vote against him. >> you mentioned the rnc clearly is behind this. you talk about republicans in these four states yet you are still a challenger with the republican ticket. does it make you less enchanted with the party, more than disappointed? what does this tell you about the party itself and this momentum to support the president? >> that the party, fredricka, is bought and paid for by this president. this president is like a mob boss. it's beyond disappointing. the republican national committee, the republican party that pretty much controls a lot of these state parties, they're doing all of trump's bidding. they worship him. they're like a cult as well as so many of his voters. but imagine -- i get tired of saying this, but imagine f barack obama and the

bill weld and mark sanford are two interesting people. -- quixoticic moment tilting at the windmill of donald trump. and are both serious people the bill weld is funny, charming, intelligent, experienced, a two-term governor. so there are little ripples. >> you talked about the different influences of the republican party through time. you had to have to versus goldwater. you had reagan versus bush. and you mentioned the homogenization of the republican party. why isn't there more creative dissension of the party such that another philosophy could prevail? >> because it is fatal at this point. fatal to careers. send if weve more to had term limits. committed people were restricted to six terms of the house, two terms in the senate. if people did not go into politics thinking they would spend their lives there. they would think, as the saying goes about the next generation and not the next election. i wrote a wonderful book on term limits read by dozens. [laughter] it had the effect most of my books read that had -- books had. i am a believer in term limits, but it is not happening. >>

what i'll tell you about this, what is unique about his entry into this race, governor bill weld hasderate in the republican party going back now, i guess, two decades. joe walsh is kind of the smashmouth, calling trump a narcissist, malignant narcissist, unpatriotic. mark sanford is doing something, there's a nuance that's very different. he's trying to have a debate within the republican party about what it means to be a republican. he wants to have a debate over spending, over deficits, that donald trump says they don't matter. he wants to look at some core economic principles. the interesting thing is sanford was elected in essentially what was a tea party wave of '94. they are remnants of a pre-trump republican party. lastly i'll say i asked mark about the decision by south carolina and other states to shut down the primary. he said it was a move of weakness. if donald trump and republicans really thought trump would win 90-10, you should have those elections. sanford thought it was a sign of weakness that they were shutting down primaries. >> i heard him talking about that on f

former massachusetts governor, bill weld, and former illinois congressman, joe walsh, discuss the trump presidency and how they would tackle issues. they spoke at an event hosted by business insider, that's tonight t 8:00 eastern on c-span2. >> saturday on book tv, at 7:45 eastern, the black books matter book party in washington, d.c. , author and lisher white house correspondent and author. >> at the end of the day, those founding fathers, they never realized that they were -- [indiscernible] -- in questioning bill clinton, george w. bush, the first black president, barack obama. and they never imagined that donald trump would be there either. but i stand on those pillars that our founding fathers put in place. my story is your story. >> then, at 11:00 eastern, the father of the student killed in the shooting at marjory stoneman high school in parkland, florida, offers his thoughts on school safety and guns. in his book. >> i was going to find out everything why and how my daughter got killed and it was all these leniency programs of these kids. like they had to frisk him before school

>> unusual. >> tucker: here you have bill weld calling for the guy's extrication.there's something about trump that is likee a bug light for wackos. it does seem that way. >> it really is. and it's absolutely astonishing. and it's like the stuff -- they accused trump of being racist all the time and my goodness, i look around and i'm like, i'm sorry, who was obsessed with race? all of these people that are accusing trump of being a racist, they are the ones who are obsessed with o race. >> tucker: who was attacking other people for their skin color? is it trump? no. so quickly, will you assess just on the scale of 0-10, the potential importance of the biden ukraine story? >> i think there are a lot of very serious questions about all of it. it's very strange. and they are his own words. that's the other thing. but the real tell for me is the way all of these so-called mainstream media outlets are trying to pooh-pooh the story and say we just don't know here. going on move right along, we don't know. >> tucker: unbelievable, charlie hurt, great to see you tonight, t

bill weld and mark sanford two in this g people moment and tilting at the windmill of donald trump and they are both serious people and bill weld is funny, charming, experienced, two-term governor, so there are little ripples on the pond. >> you talked about the different influences in the republican party through time. you had taft versus eisenhower, rockefeller versus gold water and reagan versus bush and you mentioned the republican party. why isn't there more creative dissension such that another philosophy to -- >> it's fatal. wewould have more dissent if had term limits, that is if people were restricted to say, six terms in the house and two terms in the senate, people didn't go into politics didn't think they were going to spend their life. and the next generation and not the next election. i wrote a wonderful book called "term limits" read by dozens that have the effect most of my books had. i'm a believer in term limits but not happening. >> i think we have time for one more question. >> you mentioned earlier that it will be hard for republicans to now say sorry, we didn't me

i don't know if joe walsh or bill weld can catch fire in new hampshire, but if they did, the threat isn'trump would lose the nomination. it's that he would be embarrassed and that he would be wounded and he would have to go to new hampshire and campaign and that could have an impact in the general election. >> guys, stay with me because the trump re-election team is now making light of and actually fund-raising off of all those false claims the president made this week about the projected path of hurricane dorian. in fact, now, for 15 bucks you can buy a set of these black markers inscribed with the president's name. a nod, of course, to the map he showed in the oval office in which a marker was clearly used to extend the storm's cone to show it threatened alabama. this is what has become sharpie gate. the "new york times" matched the reporting that it was the president himself who made this change. joe, you've worked on a number of campaigns. i just wonder your thoughts about how the trump team is spinning this map snafu and fund-raising off of it, trying to capitalize off of it. >> tryi

i mean it, here you have bill weld calling for the guys execution.ean there's something about trump that is like a bug light for wackos. it does seem that way. >> it really is. and, no. it's actually astonishing. it's like this stuff it keeps trump from being races all the time and my look around and i'm like i'm sorry, he's obsessed with race. all of these people that are accusing trump of being obsessed with race, they are obsessed with race. >> tucker: quickly, will you assess just on a scale of 0 to to 10 the potential importance of the biden ukraine story? >> i think there are a lot of very serious questions about all of it. it's very strange. you know, they are his own words. that's the other thing. but then the real hell for me is the way all of these so-called mainstream media outlets are trying to pooh-pooh the story and say we don't know what's going on here. we just don't know. >> tucker: unbelievable. charlie hurt, great to see you tonight. thank you. jay portnoy has built a career and has a great website. now he's under attack for suppor

i don't know what bill weld knows anymore. >> he knows nothing. mark sanford is a loser. come on. donald trump is more popular in the south than natty light. [laughter] i resent it because i hate these people that are running, obviously, to raise their profile. it reek of opportunism. kennedy: what the hell else is mark sanford doing? >> nothing. apparently he got all the steps on his fitbit when he went for that hike -- how about that? if you lost colbert, my god. [laughter] i really think the end result is going to be it will help the president from a standpoint of he's at his best when he's outnumbered. and the more outnumbered he is, the better he becomes because he's very good at painting himself as like a victim somehow. i don't know how. can. kennedy: maybe he can get little marco rubio and -- >> oh, bring him back in. kennedy: kasich? >> where is kasich out there? he's got to be out there -- >> doing really important work as a contributor on cnn. >> ask him whether -- kennedy: mccabe, snuggle. >> tell him not to order any fete chinnial grade doe -- fete chinnial grade doe.

former illinois congressman joe walsh and former massachusetts governor bill weld are also in the racelet's discuss with cnn political analyst and congressional reporter for "the washington pos post", karoun demirjian, and national politics reporter for yahoo! news, brittany shepard. ladies, good to have both of you with us. karoun, the fact that walsh, shepard, and now sandford have jumped into this race, does that mean they see some weakness in the trump presidency? >> i think it's that there's a subset that's not in step with president trump. and you're seeing that frustration from that wing of the party that is, you know, the more traditional people who have been around for a long time for the most part. putting some -- these candidates putting their name out to say that they will challenge trump for the party nomination. now, how significant of a challenge that any one of them can mount is up for question, because they don't have the same sort of spotlight or soap box or name recognition at this point as president trump does. it takes a lot for anybody to challenge a sitting presi

you can say it's not serious, but i can tell you that bill weld and joe walsh think it's serious. but they have a case to meet care. saying that both sides have done it with her was no competition, it's not a fair comparison. president trump has said these guys are jokers and he doesn't fear them parts of the so let them be on the ballot. he's in charge of everything the republican party right now. he could tell them, "make sure they are on the ballot and part of the primary." if you think you are going to win, face the competition. >> lisa: but if you have an incumbent president, they are essentially that of the party. so would you make of what jessica just said? >> melissa: they are that of the party, but i think all debate and conversation should be welcomed and encouraged. that's what democracy is about. he has a right to try and push them out of the race as a candidate, you would expect them to do that. he would expect them to really fight to the death for something that he really wants to do. so, i don't know. i can see both sides of this issue. i think think you should try
